Head of Financial Systems

I am excited to be working exclusively with my client who is looking for an exceptional Head of Finance Systems to lead a major finance transformation programme and shape the future of their core financial platforms.

This is a rare opportunity to have strategic influence
, drive organisational design
, and deliver systems that support efficiency, compliance, and long-term growth.

You’ll lead the strategic review and implementation of key finance systems, including:

• ALM
• Treasury & TTMS platforms

You’ll partner with transformation teams, set system design principles, and embed best-in-class processes across the finance function.

• Setting design principles for all core finance systems
• Leading RFP processes and managing vendor selection
• Overseeing implementation, integration, and delivery
• Developing testing, training, and rollout strategies
• Assessing outsourcing options for finance data management

• Proven leadership in finance systems & transformation
• Qualified Accountant
• Strong knowledge of GL, ALM, and Treasury systems

• Comes from an audit background and wants to transition from practice into industry — especially if you know what good looks like, plan effectively, and execute change confidently.

• Has experience in manufacturing or complex operational environments, particularly if you’ve implemented new systems from scratch and understand how to embed structure, controls, and scalability.

They are looking for a credible, influential leader with outstanding stakeholder management skills — someone who can challenge, collaborate, and guide the business through a major finance systems transformation.

My client is going through a huge amount of change therefore offering future opportunity, career progression and personal development for the right driven individual.
